Evolla® MP: monopolar radiofrequency for firmness and contour
Evolla® MP is a monopolar radiofrequency treatment that heats the layers of the skin deeply and evenly, without needles or incisions. The heat contracts existing collagen fibers and stimulates the production of new collagen, improving the firmness and contour definition of the face, neck and abdomen, with no downtime. At Yamagata Dermatologia, in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, it is performed by dermatologists after a medical evaluation.

How it works
In monopolar radiofrequency, energy passes from the handpiece into the body and spreads through the layers of the skin, heating the dermis and the tissue just below it deeply and evenly. This controlled heating contracts existing collagen fibers and, over the following weeks, stimulates the production of new collagen.
Because it does not use needles and the surface of the skin is protected during the application, the treatment leaves no marks and requires no recovery. The effect is cumulative: firmness increases over the sessions.

What a session is like
The doctor cleans the skin, applies a conductive gel and glides the handpiece over the area in continuous movements until the desired temperature is reached. A session lasts about 1 hour.
Recovery
You can return to your normal activities right after the session. The skin may be pink and warm for a few hours.
Sessions and results
The number of sessions and the interval between them depend on the dermatologist's individual evaluation and on each patient's clinical concern.
The result appears gradually, over two to three months, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong it. The response varies from person to person.
Contraindications
Evolla® MP is not recommended during pregnancy, for people with pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices, over metal implants in the area, or over wounds, infections or active skin inflammation. Recent fillers in the area, active autoimmune diseases and changes in skin sensitivity require case-by-case evaluation.
At the evaluation, the dermatologist reviews your health history, current medications and previous procedures to confirm the indication.
All procedures are recommended and performed after an individual medical evaluation. Results vary from person to person.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does Evolla® MP hurt?
It usually does not hurt. During the application, the sensation is of intense heat, which is monitored and adjusted by the doctor to remain tolerable. Anesthesia is not needed.
Can I go back to work after the session?
Yes. The skin may be pink for a few hours, but there are no crusts and no downtime, and makeup can be worn on the same day.
What is the difference between Evolla® MP and Ultraformer®?
Evolla® MP heats the skin diffusely and evenly through radiofrequency. Ultraformer® uses microfocused ultrasound, which concentrates heat at precise points and reaches deeper layers, such as the SMAS. The two can be combined, depending on the evaluation.
When do the results show?
Some firmness may be noticed right after the sessions, but the main result depends on the production of new collagen and appears gradually, over two to three months. The response varies from person to person.
